The Comic Strip Gang have finally brought out their complete series on dvd with 9 dics full of different stories, characters and episodes that vary. Without a doubt the best episodes in the box set are The Bad News Tour and A Fist Full Of Travellers Cheques. But the box is defeinatly worth buying at ebays cheep price.

The 'Comic Strip Presents' team were the comedic heirs to the likes of Monty Python and were the forerunners new styles of satire such as Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen), with a quintessentially British humour, plus a good dose of anarchy! The 'Comic Strip Presents' did spoof documentaries well before Spinal Tap, with their brilliant satire about a hopeless British rock band ‘Bad News’ (one of the episodes in this DVD). Their ‘Famous Five’ episodes are classics, enjoy these with "lashings of Ginger Beer". And a Comic Strip episode was, I believe, the very first thing to be broadcast on the launch of British TV station Channel4 in the 1980s. Their comic genius and rebellious approach perhaps set the template for Channel4's content in the subsequent years. If nothing else, this is a fascinating opportunity to see our beloved comics - all now household-names - when they first started out.Read full review

The cast includes a stellar line up of 80's alternative comidiens including Rick & Ade, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Keith Allen and Alexei Sayle. The box set is huge and impressive, all 39 episodes including documentaries and the origional comic strip line up live at Londons Raymond Revue bar, covering nine discs this currently deleted box set is a must buy for all fans of the 'alternative' genre.
